83In that regard, without its even being necessary to rule on the merits of the temporal distinction drawn by the Commission in recital 43 of the contested decision by reference to delivery of the judgment of 12 December 2000, Aéroports de Paris v Commission (T‑128/98, EU:T:2000:290), suffice it to observe, as rightly pointed out by the applicant, that in the present case the recipient of the measures criticised is not the infrastructure manager, as was the case in the aforementioned judgment, but rather a user of that infrastructure. Consequently, the considerations set out by the Commission concerning that judgment in the contested decision did not preclude the measures at issue from being categorised as State aid and, therefore, do not dispel all possibilities of there being any serious difficulty in the examination of those measures.
